Team for 1st test?

Comment Deleted by Article Creator

haha think you might be onto something there ginger.

I'm hearing Sehwags hair transplant went wrong?

dawg:
As sure as England will not select the rabble that pitiably were all-out for 51 against WI and lost the series 1-0, India will have quite a few replacements in the team that is looking like it will win 2-0 against WI.

Oh wait a minute- what are you telling me? England are fielding the same team that lost in 2009 to WI?
Hmmm!

Quite a gulf of talent between the English team and the Indian rabble, let alone their world champion side.

it doesn't matter who india pick, england will still find themselves on the wrong side of a very good hiding.

India may well win but there will be no hidings taking place.
Both teams have good and in India's case brilliant batting line ups and the weather will bound to cause one game to peter put into a draw.
I'm going for 1-1.

England to win the series 2-0. Cook will be the deciding factor. !!

Personally I have no idea what will happen in that series.
With England preparing for the series with 5 ODI's and India one warm up 4 day game, not the best preparation for test cricket, both could turn up at Lords under cooked.

I think the only open questions are about the sixth batsman and the third seamer. The rest of the XI is very predictable.
